The sad thing to me is this is one man, and one case. Obviously there were other kills attributed to this man. What bothers me is this is one guy who was caught. The amount of illegal poaching in Africa alone must be staggering.
I came across the carcass of a black bear once that had signs of being dragged by the neck and it's gallbladder removed. The incident was reported to conservation officers and basically it was shrugged off. It is hard to catch poachers in the act. How many get away with it daily is truly disturbing.
